Overview

  • The Denver Broncos have re-signed quarterback Jarrett Stidham to a two-year, $12 million deal with $7 million guaranteed.
  • Stidham will continue to serve as the backup to Bo Nix, who led the team to its first playoff appearance since 2015 in his rookie season.
  • Zach Wilson, the team's third-string quarterback, is still set to hit free agency, with reports suggesting he may explore starting opportunities elsewhere.
  • Head coach Sean Payton emphasized the importance of maintaining stability in the quarterback room as part of the team's offseason priorities.
  • Stidham, a former fourth-round pick, has been with the Broncos since 2023 and played a key role in supporting Nix’s development despite limited playing time.
